Akamu, Ogi or Pap is Nigerian corn meal made from wet corn starch.
To process Akamu at home, you need:
- Lots of cold water
- Dry corn (Yellow or white corn)
Tools you'll need:
- Blender (mine is Palson 600W).
- Chiffon cloth for separating the chaff from the akamu/ogi/pap.
- Muslin bag: any bag made from thick tightly woven cotton, canvas or calico material. You can sew it if you get the right material and know how to sew.
- Big bowls, cups, small bowls.
Notes:
1. The corn must be dry.
2. NEVER let salt come in contact with the water, corn, ogi/akamu/pap and all the utensils you are using to process the akamu. If that happens, the ogi will not become thick when you prepare it with hot water.
3. After putting the akamu in a muslin bag, tie it up and let the water drain as much as possible then place some weights on the bag so that all the water will drain completely.
4. Leave the set up in No. 3 overnight so that the Ogi will have the classic sour taste.
5. Do not put this in the fridge during the process. This is to allow the fermentation take place. Without fermentation, the Akamu will taste so bland, you'll be better off taking custard and not bother with this task.
6. When done, put in the freezer for as long as possible.

Madam Flo, your video is self explanatory, simple and easy to follow. You just demystified akamu for those of us who thought it was a difficult process. I have been carrying Akamu on flights over many years. My sister just decided to try Akamu in our kitchen using your directions. I am impressed. Well done. No more excess baggage filled with Akamu.

Exactly what I need, difference in European and Nigerean is big! what ? huge ! simply due the fact you put a lot of work in it , the food is REAL , it is handmade while it otherwise is a storebought meal that doesn't even contain anything nutritious! And once tasted it stays in ur mind , really! Had some experience tasting it yet never made these myself but guess what I'm having on the menu ;-) !! ow yes ! Totally!!

you can use popcorn kernels, the dried corn kernels meant to be popped to popcorn. That should be readily available in most places and relatively cheap. It is not the exact proper type of corn, but it does well enough - after all, it IS dried corn.

Yes, we drink it with sugar and evaporated milk + Akara, Puff Puff, Fried Plantains, Fried Yams, Moi Moi etc etc. It goes well with lots of staple foods. Ahhh, we have "kunun" a Northern Nigerian drink (looks like soy milk) and it is different from this one but I see the similarity in the names. :)))
